Chapter four hundred and ninety-six victory in the first battle
This group of black shadows was specially trained by Han Xin according to the secret method taught by Lin Ze to steal a surprise army. By the way, Lin Ze once named them Night Owls.
Everyone in the Night Owl Camp is a dexterous person with excellent skills in making light of their bodies.
A total of one hundred people were dispatched this time. Under the leadership of a captain, they quickly approached the camp entrance under the cover of darkness.
After the Night Owl captain found out where all the rebels were standing, he directed his men to move closer one by one.
On the other hand, the rebels on duty were surprisingly unanimous. They found a place to lean on and dozed off peacefully.
After everyone was in place, the captain slowly raised his right hand and then brought it down hard, followed by the sound of countless sharp blades entering his body.
Dozens of sentries guarding the entrance to the camp were killed in their sleep.
After clearing the sentry, Captain Ye Xiao immediately rushed forward with the remaining people, moved the horse away, and opened the camp door.
At the same time, Captain Night Owl pinched his lips with his hand and slowly spoke out. Only high and low bird calls could be heard in the silent night.
In the woods outside the camp, according to Han Xin's instructions, the horse hoofs were wrapped in cloth and the cavalry ambushing outside immediately rushed into the camp gate, made a loud killing sound, and trampled towards the rebel camp.
All this was seen by the general who hung on the flagpole of the gate. He had seen it as early as when Ye Xiaoying came over. But being hung here and suffering endless humiliation, he naturally chose
silence.
Anyway, he was not the one who died. As long as he didn't make a sound or take action, almost no one would notice him. As for the officers and soldiers, they would leave naturally after trampling on the camp.
The sudden sound of fighting suddenly woke up the rebels from their sleep.
Immediately afterwards, several camps were trampled by the officers and soldiers, and countless wailing sounds were heard, making people's hair stand on end.
Faced with the great fear of life and death, these rebels immediately panicked and ran frantically outside the camp driven by the desire to survive.
For a time, the camp was in chaos.
If someone comes out at this moment to order the entire army and maintain order, the camp may not be able to minimize losses.
But relying on his strong martial arts skills, the bearded general drank hundreds of kilograms of old wine alone. He was so drunk that he couldn't even react to what was happening outside.
The other four generals were even worse than the bearded generals. They drank a lot of wine, but their martial arts skills were far from enough, making them even more confused.
Without a leader, the entire rebel camp was in complete chaos. A hundred thousand troops were deliberately driven away by the official army and crowded together, trampling countless people at one time.
In order to survive, some even took out their personal weapons, hacked to death their colleagues, and fled with their lives.
The camp was in chaos for half an hour when a roar suddenly sounded outside the camp. The officers and soldiers in charge of setting foot on the camp immediately reacted and consciously drove the rebels to one place.
The rebels in panic did not know what the other party was thinking and subconsciously fled in the direction of the official troops.
When we arrived, we saw that there was a gap in the camp.
The rebels, who felt they had narrowly escaped death, immediately swarmed away.
However, this gap is not large, and only ten people can escape at a time.
In an instant, human nature was vividly displayed at this moment. Those with weapons drew weapons, and those without weapons used fists, feet, and teeth. Anyway, no matter what they used, they were all to tear apart what was in front of them.
Originally, these rebels were just trying to find a way to escape, but they became red-eyed and began to kill wildly everywhere.
The 100,000-strong army seemed to have fallen into hysteria, and suddenly more violent turmoil broke out.
The general who was responsible for leading the cavalry to camp took a look here, shook his head slightly and said: "This rebel army is completely finished. Let's go and go back and report to the general."
Soon, 20,000 cavalry troops came out from the gate of the camp and disappeared into the vast night.
They didn't even care where the rebel leader was, because the general only told them to set foot in the camp, but didn't ask them to retrieve the rebel leader's head.
However, the cavalry general was certain that even if the rebel leader could survive this turmoil, he would be treated like having his head chopped off when he met his superiors later.
After the cavalry left, the figure hanging on the camp gate moved, and the rope that tied him broke into several pieces.
This rope is not a natural treasure, and it is not the rope that can tie up the general, but the strength and background of the bearded general.
Of course, the partial general can argue with his reasoning, but if he does not want to be humiliated, he will definitely be killed by the bearded general.
After the rebel general landed, he looked at the rebel camp and felt an indescribable joy. He even said bitterly: "Haha, you are humiliating me, right? I want to see how you end up."
Having said that, the general doesn't dare to stay here anymore. Let's not say whether the officers and soldiers will leave and come back. Who knows whether the bearded general will go crazy and kill him directly?
The rebel general looked at Yue's position, identified a direction, and left quickly.
…
After receiving the report from the rebel general, Yang Zhai, Zhou Shi smashed the table and said, "You bastard, an entire army of 100,000 people was lost so easily. You should be killed."
Zhou Shi knew very well how difficult it was for the army to break through Hangu Pass for defense, so he came up with such a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole. However, he did not expect that the snake came out of the hole, and the bait he put out was chewed to pieces.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Shi calmed down his emotions and ordered: "Let the three armies that were ambushing Mianchi fifty miles away withdraw back. Now that the bait has been lost, it will be difficult for the other side to fall for it again."
"As for that loser who lost an army of 100,000 men, I don't care what background he has. I will capture him and execute him in front of the entire army to enforce military law."
The rebel general had a calm expression on his face, but he was smiling in his heart: You used military law as an excuse to humiliate him, now you will die under military law.
After the soldiers who sent orders and arrested people left, Zhou Shi asked with a gloomy face: "How long will it take for the armies of Zhao, Qi, and Chu to arrive? The furthest distance from Yangdi is only three thousand miles, and they have traveled for nearly two months.
It’s time to arrive anyway.”
"If your Majesty hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration and allowed me to wait for them together with peace of mind, I would have already reached Hangu Pass."
The rebel general had no choice but to persuade him: "Commander, please be patient. The army and the army are powerful. As the commander said, his general is unparalleled. Only with the help of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi and Chu can we have a chance to win."
."
"Don't talk about winning. Even if both the government and the army suffer losses in this battle, my Zhang Chu family will not be the only ones who suffer losses. The king has good intentions, and the commander-in-chief should understand."
There was a hint of displeasure on Zhou Shi's face, but he said: "This is natural. The king's plan is extraordinary. Naturally, we must cooperate with it fully."
A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. If Zhao, Qi and Chu were really so stupid, they should have arrived long ago.
